Theorem. Let p be a prime, k a positive integer and a a non-zero element of Fpk. The set of all integer powers of a together with the zero element is a subfield of F if and only if the order of a in the multiplicative group of Fpk is of the form pℓ−1 where j is a positive integer.
What is math subfield?
1 : a subset of a mathematical field that is itself a field. 2 : a subdivision of a field (as of study)
How do you prove fields?
In order to be a field, the following conditions must apply:
- Associativity of addition and multiplication.
- commutativity of addition and mulitplication.
- distributivity of multiplication over addition.
- existence of identy elements for addition and multiplication.
- existence of additive inverses.
